The deal February 8, 2006
Posted by clayton in : workout , add a commentUsual day at school, came home and ran, finally. A good short 8km on my new 2km course, easy jog. Some studying and then the Tuesday swim which is always speed training, I always get a little dizzy after every sprint.
Run: I ran just to check my pace. How long I'll be able to hold a 5min30sec/km pace. My goal for the marathon is to just be able to live and get to the finish line in time. So, my 8km lap times were, 1-10:25, 2-11:04, 3-10:50, 4-10:34. I guess I still don't know how to keep my pace steady. My plan is to have 2 20+km LSD runs before the marathon and plenty of short pace runs. The problem is that I have a test coming up…
Swim: Swam a total of 1600m. 200m warm up, 150m*6 kick, pull, swim (3:00), 50m*8 sprints, 100m cool down. I was an inch away from getting myself a good little cramp, hehe. The coach said that our sprint's average time had to be PR+1sec or else we have to swim 10m for every 0.1sec that we couldn't make. There was this one boy whos average was PR+5sec and he ended up having a 400m sprint after the 50m*8sprints, poor guy, hehe. Luckily, I renewed my PR by 0.2sec and didn't have to do that.
Tomorrow: Wake up early in the morning and RUN!!! Go to school, come home, do the short bike setting/ forming on my trainer(30min?), study and then go for a swim.
